The high cost of education begins long before kids start college, a new study shows.
When parents look for a home to set down roots, they often seek the best public school districts. Those homes tend to cost more, nearly $300,000 more on average, according to children鈥檚 equipment manufacturer Chicco which analyzed Zillow home values with Niche鈥檚 rankings of best school districts across the U.S.
The average U.S. home value is $353,748 while the average for the best district in every state is 86% higher at $651,662, the study said.
